Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi - I have searched the forums as I guess this question must be asked regulalry, but I can't find an answer! I have my deflector and I have the clips and rivets. Is there a pattern or template I should use to fit or has anyone got any advice on how to do this without drilling multiple holes in the hoops?

POST 2Original post

Dredd, the answer to your question is out there. Just keep your search simple, like "wind deflector." Roll bars have holes that are predrilled on each of the hoops. You must pull off the padding to access them. The brackets are simply pop riveted to the roll bar hoops. The center bracket rivets to the center padding. Do a search on this forum for windstop and you should find a link to a site on renntech which gives you directions with photos from toolpants. Removing the rollbar pads is the most difficult part (you got to pull them off really hard). The remainder of the installation is simple.

Thanks Lostbrit - I'm sure I will get the hang of it, hopefully I can get it done over the BH weekend
